Hudibras V1: With Dr. Grey�������s Annotations (1819) is a book written by Samuel Butler. It is a satirical poem that was first published in 1663 and became very popular in England. The poem is about a Puritan knight named Sir Hudibras who sets out on a quest to defend the honor of the Church of England. Along the way, he encounters various characters and situations that satirize the hypocrisy and absurdity of the Puritan movement.

Grey’s notes provide additional context and explanations of the historical and cultural references in the poem, making it more accessible to modern readers.
